• W2597004872 abstract "IntroductionI have always said, that in this line of business you can drink, but this is no job for a drunkard.(Safari entrepreneur, male in his 50s)Tourism is a human activity which depends upon the holidaymaker's desire for leisure, and new experiences. It is inherently a celebratory practice: tourism is travel for pleasure (e.g Sheller and Urry 2004). In the tourism business the capacity to offer unique experiences that serve this purpose, and thus please the customer, is of utmost importance. Employees working in this particular service sector play a major role in producing the authentic tourism product; acting in a way that generates pleasure and memorable experiences for the tourists, often also after their regular working hours. Work in the tourism industry typically suffers from the blending of and work. While spending time with people on holiday, tourism workers have to downplay the fact that for them the situation is not a highlight of the year, but rather just another day spent in their routine tasks. This is especially true in situations where the tourism sector employee has to produce the experience with his or her personality thus engaging in emotional labour (Hochshild 1983; Bolton 2004; Weaver 2005).Tourism research has noted that the tourism and hospitality industry, which thrives on leisure, celebration and relaxation, entails an unequal relationship between the tourist and the tourism worker. As a client paying for services the tourist expects that the worker partakes in the leisure activities associated with being on holiday: drinking, dancing, partying and even sometimes providing sexual favours. This unequal relationship between the client and the worker, and the fact that the tourist is on holiday at a which is the tourism worker's home and workplace, places a burden on the employee. Alcohol plays an important and multifaceted role in tourism: it is central in having fun and doing place (Jayne et al. 2012), in social interaction with the cultures visited (Bell 2008: 296) and in consuming pleasures (Andrews 2005). However, the tourists' heavy use of alcohol, partying all-night-long and the expectation that the worker should also take part in the festivities, wears the workers down (Gmelch 2003; Moore 1995; Guerrier and Adib 2000). Yet there are also other ways in which this setting affects those working in the field. As this article demonstrates, the celebratory culture of tourism is a part of the culture of tourism work itself, an axis around which the work is organised and a part of employee relationships at work. In this article, we explore the participation of tourism workers, safari guides in Finnish Lapland, to the celebratory practices of tourism and the ways in which these practices are a part of how they bond together to form close-knit teams. A particular teamwork ideology, widely accepted in the industry, puts the employees in a spot where taking part in celebrations with the customers and one's colleagues, may be somewhat compulsory. We argue, that in this line of business celebration and alcohol merge into the practice of tourism work and blur the boundaries between work and leisure, customership and friendship, as well as workplace community and private life. We examine how teams develop into communities and how those communities are upheld in the practice of the work. Our focus is especially on everyday interactions: the unofficial ways in which team culture is created at the workplace in the safari business; out in nature, in common celebrations and especially at the pub at the end of the long working day. We draw from the discussions on tourism work (e.g. Guerrier and Adib 2003; Sheller and Urry 2004; Urry and Larsen 2011; Baerenholdt and Jensen 2009), the role of alcohol in tourism (e.g. Bell 2008) and contribute towards the emerging field of sociology of celebration. We highlight the double role of alcohol in producing the kinds of experiences that the customers expect and in generating the necessary team spirit among the workers. …" @default.
